As they returned to their den, Annabel couldn't help but feel a sense of gratitude for the pack that she had found. They were strong, loyal, and brave, and she knew that they would always be there for each other, no matter what challenges lay ahead.
Together, they had faced their enemies and emerged victorious. Together, they had shown kindness to those in need. And together, they would continue to thrive and grow, building a brighter future for themselves and their pack.
As Annabel settled into her spot by the fire that night, she felt a sense of peace and contentment wash over her. She was proud to be a part of this pack, and she knew that she would do anything to protect them and keep them safe.
The war had been tough, but the pack had come out stronger than ever before. They had proven that they were a force to be reckoned with, and they had shown the world that they would not back down in the face of danger.
SCARLETT'S POVWe expected an attack from Annabel and the Storm Pack, but nothing prepared us for the sudden attack that occurred. I was blindsided, and it broke my heart to see my wolves being killed randomly.I went out, fighting hard beside Atlas, Atlene, Ken, Nader, Kenji, Paula, Lillian, Camille and Daniel. It felt like deja vu, as if we were back in the war against the Storm pack that had threatened our territory years ago.The sound of snarls, growls and screams filled the air as we fought fiercely. I could see the determination in my wolves' eyes as they fought to protect their home and their Alpha.I fought with everything I had, my claws and teeth tearing into the flesh of our attackers. But for every enemy we took down, two more would take their place. They were relentless, and it seemed like they had an endless supply of warriors.
"I think it is high time that Scarlett and I had a sit-down to talk about our differences and squash them once and for all. I cannot go on living like this, where I'm looking over my shoulders and waiting to be attacked or planning on attacking whatever battalion she has on her side." Scarlett says quietly, and Atlas looks lovingly at her."Are you really sure that it is what you want?" Atlas asks and she nods in agreement."Let's fight once and for all and end this. I am exhausted with the whole charade. Aren't you? If the moon goddess wasn't involved the last two times, I would be dead right about now. It is enough with the cat and mice games. Let's get on with this and settle it forever." Scarlett says, and Atlas nods in agreement once again.The sun had set, and the sky was covered with shades of orange and pink as Atlas and Scarlett walked towards the designated meeting
With Annabel dead and Luke gone far away in search of his own life, Scarlett finally felt like it was time to let go and allow herself to wed Atlas and be a Luna instead of an Alpha."It is definitely time to get married and settle down, have little pups running around here and live out my own happily ever after. What do you think, Atlene?" Scarlett asks Atlene on a cool leisurely evening in the gardens.Atlene sighs and looks over at her with a vague expression on his face. "I feel like you deserve all the peace and happiness in this world, Scarlett," he said wistfully, looking away quickly from Scarlett's face."What do you mean, Atlene? Please talk to me. What exactly are you talking about? You seem very sad too. Are you alright?" Scarlett asks near tears."You deserve to be happy with my brother, Atlas." He pauses and looks at Scarlett. "I know
SCARLETT'S POVMy wedding day came, and it was glorious. I woke up bright and early, happy beyond understanding, to be alive and well on my own wedding day. A real wedding, that was not fake or a lie or a trap. This was my real life wedding dream.The sun was shining brightly, and the sky was blue with just a few fluffy white clouds. It was a perfect day for a wedding. I got up and went to the window to look outside. The view was breathtaking. The ocean was calm and still, the beach was clean and beautiful, and the trees were swaying in the gentle breeze. I took a deep breath, closed my eyes, and thanked God for this beautiful day and for bringing Atlas into my life.I then turned to the room, which was already bustling with activity. Nader was busy putting the finishing touches on the decorations, Paula was helping Lillian with her hair and makeup, Camille was making sure everythi
Scarlett’s POV“You’re five weeks pregnant, Luna.” The pack’s doctor’s voice rang over and over in my head, which made me smile as I rubbed on my still flat stomach and looked out my room’s window.To say that I was super excited was an understatement. I was beyond overjoyed.My heart swelled with so much joy, and I was brimming with so much excitement about the prospect of breaking the news to my husband, Luke that at first, I didn’t notice when he came into my room.“Baby,” I heard him call softly at me, and I jumped slightly in fright because I wasn’t expecting him here in the first place.He smiled, showing off his dimples and dropped a tray of mouthwatering goodies on the bedside table before he began walking towards me with a smug smile on his face.I wanted to blurt out the good news to him, but I didn’t. I already knew the surprise would totally blow his mind but at the same time I wanted it to come off as a bigger surprise. We’ve been wanting to bear children ever since we g
Scarlett's POV“Ah, Anna! Oh please help me talk Luke out of this craziness!” I yelled in desperation. “He’s acting up and I don’t know why!” I cried.I couldn’t seem to move my body, because whatever it was that must've been put into my food was so potent, it was fast weakening my defenses.I almost breathed out a sigh of relief when she immediately turned to look at Luke with a stormy expression on her face, that was until she said; “Why didn’t you gag her?” I heard Annabel ask spitefully, making me gasp in shock. No, not her too!“I didn’t because I wanted to listen to her shout out for help when I knew that no one was going to come to her aid.” Luke replied with a small smile dancing across his face.To my utter dismay, Annabel joined in his laughter, but immediately stopped when her gaze locked with mine.“I would’ve loved to have her gagged though… and make her watch while we do what we always did behind her back.” She said with a laugh.What did she mean by that?I had not ful
Scarlett’s POVAs soon as I uttered the words, I saw his eyes widen in shock… and something akin to regret as his beatings immediately came to a halt. I also didn’t miss the angered look that suddenly fleeted across Annabel’s face before she quickly pushed him aside to stand right in front of me.“So you think lying about a baby would get you out of here right?” She seethed with so much loathing, it made me shiver.“I am not making this up Anna! I’m pregnant!” I choked out. I could feel the wetness begin to form a puddle beneath me, and I knew they could smell the blood too but simply chose to ignore it.“If you’re really pregnant, then there’s only one way to find out!” She snapped.I was about to ask her what she meant by that when she suddenly knelt beside me and began tearing the piece of my fabric slowly away from my body.“What’re you trying to do?!” I called out frightfully, but she ignored me, focusing almost all of her attention into cutting out the cloth, especially the on
Scarlett’s POV I jerked forward suddenly, making a whole lot of people sitting around me turn to stare at me with a look of both shock… and pity?Seemingly confused, I quickly looked around my surroundings to discover that I was at a funeral and that Annabel was sitting right beside me, with her hands firmly clasped in mine.The fucking bitch!I was about to forcefully pull my hands out of her grip when the ritualist’s voice rang through the crowd, quickly snapping me out of my reverie.“We are gathered here today to pay our solemn tributes to this lovely family, the family of Alpha and Luna Cardel Blackstone…” I quickly snapped my head in the ritualist’s direction, realizing that this was my parent’s funeral. But how’s this possible? My parents died two years ago!I quickly looked towards the pyre that had been created up front and discovered that a lot of my parents' pictures had been scattered on it, as a means of showing condolences.“We would be less than honest if we said that

They had proven that they were a force to be reckoned with, and they had shown the world that they would not back down in the face of danger.
The day that they had planned on attacking Scarlett's pack finally came. Scarlett was super excited even as she and Luke were going to be in the shadows mostly."After today, Scarlett and her pack will be a thing of the past. How does that make you feel?" Scarlett asks Alpha Akin, and he smiles widely at her.Alpha Akin grinned at Annabel's question, his eyes glinting with anticipation. "It's time for justice to be served," he said. "They have caused too much chaos and destruction in this region for far too long. It's time for them to pay for their crimes."Annabel nodded in agreement, her own excitement bubbling inside her. She had always been loyal to Alpha Akin and his pack, and the thought of taking down their enemies only added to her sense of purpose.The plan was simple: Alpha Akin and his strongest warriors would lead the charge against Scarlett's pack,
Alpha Akin is confused with the story about his having forced himself on Denise and gotten her pregnant."What do you mean that I forced myself on her?" He asks, anger and confusion visible on his dark face.Denise's hands are shaking as she stands with her hands held behind her and her face lowered in shame. "Denise says you forced yourself on her and she is pregnant as a result." Annabel reaffirms confidently.Denise looks back at Luke, and he gives a sign for her to relax and stick with the script with his eyes. "Repeat the statement right on front of me here!" Alpha Akin orders Denise rudely, his eyes appraising her beautiful body with a hint of lust underneath all the anger."You… You forced yourself on me that evening when you were drunk, after the council meeting…" Denise says, acting scared although she is also actually scared.
"There's a problem, Luke. There's a very lightly problem." Denise says, looking very scared as Luke meets up with her in the wine cellar. "Okay, but please calm down and stop pacing, Baby. It's driving me crazy over here." Luke says, and Denise stands at a spot, biting her nails hard and spitting them out of her mouth, while tapping her right leg energetically on the ground at the same time. "How are we going to take care of this, Luke? How?" She cries, still not exactly what the problem is. Luke walks over to her and holds her firmly by the shoulders, stopping her from panicking. Looking deeply into her eyes, he says, "What exactly is the problem, Denise? Please talk to me, and let's see if there is a way out. Your panicking and pacing and nail-biting is not helping anybody. Let's just get to the root of the problem and see how to solve it." Denise looks at him doubtfully with a full pout while Luke nods his approval for her to speak." I am… I think that I am pregnant," Denise bl
"Big sis, I really need to talk to you about something important." Paula says to Scarlett, and she sits up on her bed to listen to her youngest cousin."What is going on, Paula?" Scarlett asks, scanning her face to help her guess what it is that she wants to talk about. "You seem very worried about something. You know you can trust me with everything, Baby." She adds in trying to gain Paula's choice and make her feel comfortable enough to talk."I don't know how you're going to take this, big sis, but I think Atlas is cheating on you." Paula says pint blank and Scarlett stares at her, sitting quiet and frozen in shock. "She is blond and curvy. I only saw her back when they were kissing behind the kitchen, but I thought to tell you about it." Paula adds looking very scared.Scarlett takes a deep breath, trying to process what Paula just said. She knows that she shouldn't jump
